FrontPage news forum separation - Important

Hi All,

Is possible to subscribe the students for two different qualifications separately to the news forum on the frontpage so that they only view and receive email notifications for the site-wide announcements related to only their qualification? At the moment we are using cohorts for each of our two qualifications. I tried searching in the moodle forums but there is no answer to this. Is it really possible? Your advice will be appreciated as it's a bit urgent. Thank you. Regards.

Have you tried creating one group per qualification and then imposing 'separate groups' onto the news forum? I don't know whether that will work. Or make a grouping per group/qualification & then one site-wide News forum per grouping. Then post announcements / news into the appropriate News forum and make it viewable per grouping only. You may have to play around with the settings to make this work -- in particular you may have to use a standard forum rather than the News forum.
